Leopard Hugging Pink Diamond
North Palm Beach, FL
Leopard Hugging a Pink Diamond is an original stained glass and mirror mosaic artwork by Brooklyn glass artist Allison Eden, inspired by the extravagance, romance, and theatrical glamour of vintage high jewelry.
A golden leopard appears to wrap itself protectively around an enormous faceted pink diamond, transforming the imagery of a precious jewel into a dramatic, larger-than-life work of contemporary glass art. The brilliant golds, mirrored surfaces, deep black markings, jewel-like green eye, and blush-pink tones evoke the opulence of extraordinary vintage jewelry once created for royalty, Hollywood icons, and legendary collectors.
The artwork is constructed entirely through an intensive process of hand cutting, shaping, fitting, and assembling individual pieces of stained glass and mirror. Creating the leopard’s expression, movement, spotted coat, claws, facial details, and the intricate facets of the monumental diamond required weeks of meticulous craftsmanship.
At approximately 40 inches high by 52 inches wide, Leopard Hugging a Pink Diamond occupies the space between contemporary sculpture, mosaic, Pop Art, decorative art, and jewelry-inspired fine art. Its scale allows the piece to become a focal point in a private collection, luxury residence, hotel, gallery, dressing room, jewelry salon, or hospitality interior.
For collectors of glass artwork, contemporary mosaic art, Pop Art, vintage jewelry, gemstones, and highly crafted decorative art, the piece celebrates the irresistible human fascination with objects that sparkle.
Like a spectacular piece of jewelry enlarged to architectural scale, Leopard Hugging a Pink Diamond is designed to become the crown jewel of a collection.

Every fragment of glass is deliberately selected and positioned to manipulate reflection, color, texture, and light. The diamond is particularly sculptural in appearance: numerous mirrored and specialty-glass pieces radiate from its center like the facets of a cut gemstone, changing character as the viewer moves around the artwork and as surrounding light shifts throughout the day.
The leopard itself demonstrates Allison Eden’s distinctive approach to glass mosaic. Rather than relying on uniform tile, Eden uses individually shaped pieces of glass almost like brushstrokes, allowing the surface to become expressive, dimensional, and richly detailed. Gold-toned glass creates the animal’s luminous coat, while contrasting black glass spots, silver mirror, white glass, and the vivid green eye give the leopard its unmistakable personality.
